FAQs
Why are smoke detectors essential for electrical safety in my Harrison home or business?
Smoke detectors provide the earliest possible warning of a fire, allowing occupants to evacuate quickly and emergency services to respond faster. Early detection dramatically reduces the risk of injury, loss of life, and property damage. In Harrison, local fire codes require working smoke alarms in all dwellings, making them not only a safety measure but also a legal necessity.
What types of smoke detectors do you offer for customers in Harrison?
We carry ionization, photoelectric, and dual-sensor smoke detectors, as well as combination smoke & carbon-monoxide units. Models are available in battery-only, hard-wired with battery backup, and smart Wi-Fi–enabled versions. All products meet UL 217 standards and comply with New York State and Town of Harrison fire safety regulations.
How often should I test my smoke detectors and replace their batteries?
Test every unit monthly by pressing the test button until the alarm sounds. Replace standard 9-volt or AA batteries at least once a year (many customers choose a memorable date such as the start of Daylight Saving Time). For sealed 10-year lithium models, no battery change is required, but the entire unit must be replaced after 10 years. Always replace any detector immediately if it fails a test.
Can your smoke detectors be integrated into hard-wired or smart-home systems?
Yes. We stock interconnect-capable hard-wired alarms that can be linked so all units sound simultaneously, meeting code for new construction or major renovations. For smart homes, we offer Wi-Fi and Z-Wave models that send mobile alerts, integrate with voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri), and can be monitored alongside other security devices. Our technicians can configure these systems during installation.
What Harrison and New York State regulations affect smoke-detector placement and replacement?
New York State law requires at least one smoke detector on every floor, in every sleeping area, and outside each bedroom group. Harrison’s building department enforces these rules during inspections and property sales. All newly installed detectors must be either hard-wired with battery backup or sealed 10-year battery units. Detectors older than 10 years, lacking manufacturing dates, or failing to operate must be replaced.
Do you provide installation, maintenance, and disposal services, and what are the typical costs?
We offer turnkey service: on-site assessment, professional installation, annual maintenance plans, and environmentally responsible recycling of old units. Standard installation of a battery-powered detector starts around $45 per unit; hard-wired or smart models range from $90–$150, including wiring and interconnection. Maintenance programs begin at $29 per visit and include testing, cleaning, and replacement of batteries if needed. All pricing is quoted up-front with no hidden fees.
